Welcome

A haven of peace in the heart of nature

A stay for you, and you alone: to find your centre, reconnect and recharge your batteries.

A charming 120 m² house, recently renovated, on an equestrian estate: exposed beams, dressed stone and a carefully chosen decor.

Enjoy a unique wellness area: a private sauna and hammam, open at any hour. From the garden, you'll meet our animals, who are very much part of the experience. The horses live freely on several hectares, and the dogs and hens will share your days.

Looking forward to welcoming you, Marie

About

Our story

A little introduction is in order… My name is Marie Clément. In 2020, I bought this equestrian estate, made up of my own home and the gîte. It was a lifelong dream: to have my horses at home and share their daily lives, day after day.

An animal osteopath by profession, I chose to embark on the adventure of holiday letting and to open this gîte: my first! The aim is to bring this superb building to life and to meet people who share the same values as us: a love of animals, nature and peace and quiet.

I chose to do very little advertising, to preserve the authenticity of the place. Word of mouth remains our best recommendation.

My love of animals remains the common thread of my life: you will find a wonderful variety of animals on the estate. Cats, dogs, horses and hens: each has a special place, and together they make up the P'tit Charivari team. Charivari… is, by the way, the name of one of my horses!

    Gaetan Nappez, partner and handyman
  • Our horses Nadja, Charivari, Unita
  • Our dogs Shana and Annette
